EVERYONE KNOWS HOW ANIMALS ARE TREATED IN FACTORY FARMS. If everyone wanted to know more information on the subject, I'm sure they will look it up themselves. That subject is the big elephant in the room that know one wants to acknowledge, so let THEM choose when they want to acknowledge it. They know where their food comes from is not a pleasant sight, is not very clean, and is pumped full of chemicals, THEY KNOW THIS and it makes them feel like shit if you tell them.
I use to be that vegan that tells people about the harmful effects that steak has on their health and the environment. After seeing their reaction, a look of guilt and sinfulness, it made me think twice about spreading this info. It made me feel like a prick.
Now, going about spreading the vegan message in a new way, I find it best to treat Veganism like other religions, something I myself find annoying. Just like Mormons going up to your door at 9:00 am on a Saturday is the exact feeling you'll get when a Vegan is PREACHING about the horrors in factory farms and the treatment of animals. So, to all you prick vegans(Like how I use to be) out there, KEEP YOUR DIET/LIFESTYLE/RELIGION to yourself unless asked.
Besides, humans are OMNIVORES. We have a choice. It's not black and white: you're either herbivore or carnivore, no, there is a grey area, omnivore, which is what we are. A video called, "Are Humans Meant To Eat Meat?", opened my eyes to the saying, "To Each Their Own". Check it out...
This dude just shredded every argument I had to defend my "humans are meant to be vegan" claim. Definitely made me think twice about it.
You see my vegan homedawgz, going about this lifestyle will lead you to articles and videos that make you feel smart after you analyze them and will want to make you want to tell your family and friends about how they can help themselves and the environment. Especially if they don't ask, DON'T TELL THEM anything you learned. There's no need to sound like Einstein to your friends and family when no one is in the mood for getting slapped by some knowledge. If the topic comes up somehow, and they seem interested, then go for it, just be cautious, a huge debate my breakout and your opponent might go Hannibal on your ass and eat your face!(No they won't)
